Colline de l'Hermitage, one of the most beautiful vineyards in the world, this small stone house with blue shutters was once a haven of peace for our winegrowers. Made on the most eastern terroirs of the hill where the soils are deeper, less stony and less steep. Syrah vines 40 to 60 years old
Manual harvest with sorting on the plot, in small crates. Vatting for about 4 weeks with gentle extraction. Aging in French oak barrels, 20% of which is new wood.
Deep purple in color, aromas of cherry, liquorice, surf violet with spicy notes, incense and minerality with a smoky side. Succulent and penetrating on the palate, the wine is lively, full-bodied and supple at the same time with a round texture. Pairings with guinea fowl, duck and veal rib.
A rich and sophisticated Hermitage with delicate pepper and forest berry aromas that pull you inexorably into this beautiful wine. The fine tannins support the ample body, gently building to a crescendo at the long, plush finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
